Little Mabel had been to Sunday school.
The lesson was the escape Of Lot from
Sodom. and on her return home she was
asked to tell about it. "Oh," said she,
cit was about Lot, and the people in
Sodom were awful wicked, and Lot was
the only good one, and he was told to
flee from destruction with his family,
and they said: Now, Lot, you mustn't
turn and look back and Lot didn't look
back, but Mrs. Lot wanted to see what
was going to happen, so after they had
gone ways Mrs. Lot turned and looked
back and turned a somersault."

Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who has
used Bosciee's German Syrup to let its
wonder fui qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia,
and in fact all throat aud lung diseases.
No person can use it without Immediate
relief. Three doses will relieve any
case, and we consider 1t the duty of all
Druggists to recommend it 10 the poor,
dying consumptive. at least to try one
bottle, as $4,000 dozen bottles were sold
last year, and no one case where 1t failed
was reported. Such a medicine as the
German Syrup cannot be too widely
known. Ask your druggist about it.
Sample bottles to try, sold at 10 cents.
Regular size, 70 cents. Sold by all
Druggists and Dealers, in the United

"The recognition tina. the Order is re-
ceiving through the enactment Of laws
and the consideration of various meas
ures that have been advocated by the
Grange, by the National and State legis-
lators, is inspiring the farmers of the
Nation with hope aud faith in the prac-
ticability and final success Of the Order,
and of the utility and absolute necessity
for organization. 1t is the hope Of those
who are laboring for the welfare of
American agriculture, and for mankind
in general, that the day is not distant
when correct conceptions of the means
to be employed, and the methods by
which the corrective influences appro-
pirate to our form of Government are to
be more clearly understood and univers-
ally applied. This is desirable for the
reason that results will be more perma-
nent and can be secured without dis
turbing the peace, quiet and general
harmony of the country. This hope is
based on the disposition of the people TO
think more for themselves, to investi-
gate more and come less under the con-
troll and dictation of others. Thought
is the soil in which new ideas grow
spontaneously, development and sue
cess."-N. Zimmerman.
eve are wont to say farmers are the
most independent class there is. 1t is
true that farmer in good circumstances,
with moderate wants, may regard him
self and condition with degree of self
complacency. But whatever his cir
cumstances may be, the most valuable
lesson he can learn is to know when to
be independent, and when to cooperate,
with others. In the Grange all matter
can be discussed, and each may receive
the benefit of the knowledge of all. We
say to every farmer, 60 into the Grange
and learn; and to put your newly ac-
quired knowledge to practical test in the
useful purposes of life, being member
of the Grange, you have noble oppor-
tunity.
The Intelligent and docile Patron of
Husbandry will soon find that he can
learn much more of the best methods to
be pursued in the prosecution Of his
calling by cooperating with his fellows
who have equal and identical interests
than by working independently and by
himself.
He will also find it no less profitable
to exercise his independence and his
own good judgement in all matters that
affect him through the medium of tax
alton. Let him inquire if it is right for
one man, with little or no property, to
pay as much for the support of govern
ment as the richest, because it is for the
interest of his Congressman who gets
s. 900 year and twenty cents a mile
for travel to tell him so. He certainly
ought to have independence enough not
to believe that black is white or that
two and two make five, especially when
he has to pay for the cheat himself.

! A FATAL MISTAKE.

The Cleveland (Ohio) Press,
of February Esd, 1883, pub
lished an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great connection among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. 1t
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with n slight de-
rangement of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescrlbable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint "all gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Then followed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer i'm the stomach.
and in order tosave thepatient's
life an operation was justifi-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1888, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence of DR..
Tuckerman, DR.. Periier, DR..
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and DR.. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin-
alton of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tent did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostitution (for
this was what the disease really
was), she would have been liv-
ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
RooTs, OF SEIGEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex-
pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi-
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds Of treatment have
failed. The evidence of it's
efficacy in curing this class of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
rature, and the article has an

Ought some restrictions to be placed
upon indiscriminate immigration? Is
one Of the subjects proposed for investi-
CATION and discussion by members of the
Grange in the United States during the
summer months, that they may be pre-
pared to take intelligent ard concerted
action at the meeting of the National
and State Oranges next fall and winter,
and 10 bring the matter with proper
weight before Congress.
IL is estimated that upwards of GOO, 900
foreign immigrants will land on our
shores this year. In some cities they
are camped out. waiting for steamers to
transport them.
In every Anarchist meeting or out
break every official statement concern
ing the condition of labor or the inmates
of our almshouses and asylums for the
insane, and in every report relating to
plague spots in the slums of our great
cities, may be found something to re-
mind The people of the United States
that emigration is not blessing. A bill
abolishing the State Board of Immigra-
ton of Wisconsin passed both houses OF
the Legislature without dissenting
vote this last winter. We do not want
criminals. We do not want insane per-
sons or paupers. The almshouses of
New York State contained in 1880 no
less than 1882 foreign born inbabit-
ants; one foreign born pauper 20 every
So foreign born inhabitants, as against
one native to every l76 of the native
population.
Farmers bear the burden of the taxes
to support these paupers. We do not
want the thousands of la5orers who are
coming here with the intention of liv-
ing here for few years upon foo that
the native laborer rejects, of working
for very low wages and then returning
to Europe to spend the remainder of
their days.
We do not want those whose chief de-
sire is to destroy our institutions, illus
trated by him who OH being asked what
ticket he was going to vote, answered
ANY ticket that is agin the Govern
ment." Farmers must bear the bur-
dens of all the troubles this class cause
also.

Steamship lines who have tickets to
sell, railroads who have besides trans
portation millions of acres of land, given
them by our two liberal Congress, which
they wish to dispose of at good figures,
use every device to induce immigration.
Millions of acres of land are put under
the pillow by those used to peasantry liv-
ing and expense, ard produce crops to
add to an Increasing production
year by year; land that could afford to
wait for the coming generations, and be
developed as needed and not as now
forced to yield its increase even to the
detriment of very large proportion of
the farmers of other portions of our
country.

of the estate These include the Times, the
valuable building from which it is published, a
large plat of valuable land near the stockyards,
unfinished marble palace near South Park,
the city. The price paid for the property is said
to be $4,000. 900. This is not considered a
great price for the real estate involved. The
contest for the property had sensational inter-
est from the two queer wills in which Mr.. Storey
left his property to his second wife. His first
wife, from whom he had been divorced, con-
tested Mrs. Storey's Inheritance, and the suits
more intricate until the affair reached I'M
heard-of proportions, and could probably never
have been settled by the courts The first
wife sought to prove that Mr.. Storey of un-
sound mind and the evidence introduced in sup

was the greatest newspaper in the interior of
